Growing up in the Saan Go Caste of the Jin-Mei, August had a fairly comfortable early life with a promising career in politics. He received a high level of education from esteemed institutes across Gallente space and seemed to have a promising career ahead of him.

But despite all the potential he held, the lure of crime always kept in trouble with the authorities and involved in the wrong crowds until one day he tried to rip off the leader one of the largest Drug Cartels in the galaxy. Bad mistake.

August was ambushed in his ship and barely escaped with his life. As a consequence, he was forced to burn his contacts and fake his own death, create a new identity and live in the stars as an outscast.
